This week will be blue. After 3 long days spent on the Salon Vivre Coté Sud in Aix-en-Provence, which picked infinite blue as theme for this year, I now enjoy looking at the pictures of my favorite booths which all played the game with this color in common. I shared many shots on instagram and I'll show you more pictures of the Show later this week, but today I wanted to write you about a shop that I deeply love and which dazzle us all, every year, with impeccable stylish booths.

Couleur Locale. A Belgian shop of a quite particular style. Its collection is an invitation to travel, escape, dreaming of distant destinations. Ruth and Hendrik regularly travel to Africa and Asia to bring us real treasures. You might tell me many shops right now offer the same objects. Quite true, though at Couleur Locale there isn't any wrong note, everything is harmonious, coherent, no matter the origin of the object. It's the ultimate boho-chic style! Baskets, furniture, textiles, pendant lights, tableware, juju hats (the latest trendy object for the summer!) ... we wish we could bring everything home, to travel from our sofa just by looking at those treasures around us.

This year, on the Salon, their stand was bright, in a white and cream colour range expressing through natural materials, hand-made objects from all over the world. Only linen sheets and the big dresser broke this chromatic dullness with their touches of blue. It's a lighter colour range than the one we are used to see in their inspiring pictures. For their last catalogue, for instance, they could enjoy advice and talent of Chleo Scheulderman, a Dutch stylist who doesn't need to be described anymore. And even though, on that occasion, the backdrop was the Moroccan tadelakt with earthy colours, the elegance and the style were the same.

Recently Elle Decoration published a report on their wonderful home. A mixture of minimalism and globe trotters' inspirations. There are people who have a so much talent in styling, in telling the story of objects coming for far away, in creating connections between objects coming from elsewhere. Couleur Locale is among them and every year it is with the renewed pleasure that we discover their booth and their collections.

The Salon is now over, but their eshop is always open and the inspiration goes on ... ♡
